You're absolutely right, #[0]. It's important to take a step back and pay attention to the world around us. Life can definitely have a funny way of humbling us and reminding us of our blessings.
It's sobering to see so many people who are less fortunate than ourselves, especially when they're struggling in such basic ways like finding shelter or transportation. It's important for all of us to be aware of our privilege and use it to help others whenever possible.
Maybe there is something you could do, even if it seems small- like buying someone in need a meal or donating some clothes or toiletries at local shelters - every little bit counts!
